Vtune 3.0 Beta on RHEL3

[techsupport]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the vtune 3.0 beta installed on a ia64 RHEL3 box. It seems like the rpms are built against the 32bit libs though. From the /var/log/install.log

D: install: intel-vdk-src-3.2-32 has 51 files, test = 0
D: install: %pre(intel-vdk-src-3.2-32) asynchronous scriptlet start
D: install: %pre(intel-vdk-src-3.2-32) execv(/emul/ia32-linux//bin/sh) pid 9603
D: install: waitpid(9603) rc 9603 status ff00 secs 0.000
error: %pre(intel-vdk-src-3.2-32) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping intel-vdk-src-3.2-32

Further up I see / relocated to /emul/ia32-linux

At this point, my install fails.

Any pointers would be appreciated. I'm running RHEL3 update 3 on an Itanium2 box with the latest patches for everything. Thanks

Hi Jason:

Looks like the problem is a reliance on the 32-bit version of bash. That is, the pre-install script sets up a mapping of "/" to "/emul/ia32-linux". You can either install the emulation RPMs or try to manually execute the scripts. Of course, we would prefer the former. :-}

FYI, this issue has been addressed and the official 3.0 release will include the fix.

Dave,

Looks like that quick fix worked. We look forward to the final release :) Thanks
